600 hp 600 lb/ft torque on the SRT...

Looks good overall except for the bottom grill. Aftermarket grill would be a first modification for SRT viper buyers.

I think they took the snake theme a little too far.

did any of you even read the specs?? LOL

640hp 600tq

This viper will get better MPG than our M3's as the last ones did.

I think this viper should get 18mpg city 25 hwy

Most tq our of any N/A car built ever...

car should do stock 10.6 @136mph

I am trading my M3 in for one as soon as they go for sell.

Got a chance to look at the pics on a decent monitor. I like the interior, "eh" on the exterior. Although vipers tend to look better in person.

3300 lbs and an 8.3L motor...will be interested to see the weight distribution and how it handles.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiight. Pushing an 8.3L engine will get better gas mileage than a 4L engine. Maybe they will do some stupid crap like disable half the cylinders when cruising, but who wants to cruise in a car like this anyway?

Biggest engine? Not that impressed with the numbers for the size, but maybe it is underrated.

I had a 04 SRT-10 vert before i went to my 335-than M3...


You need to research viper MPG before posting...

2010 Dodge viper 600hp 13 city/22 highway mpg
2012 BMW M3 414hp 14 city/19 highway mpg

Ralph has already stated that the new viper will get better MPG than the last gen.

You mad bro?

If you drive any car like a bish, then it will get decent gas mileage. Drive it like a sports car, and it will get terrible mileage.

Who cares about gas mileage in a viper? LOL...

8.4? Ok, insideline said 8.3...that is even crazier.

Yah but my point is that it doesn't actually get that gas mileage and give 600HP...If you push the car to max horsepower, the gas mileage is terrible...

I drove from PA to SC and got 21mpg in my M3. I drive on the back roads around my house and can't get 10mpg.

Why get a monster like this if you drive slow? I'm confused...

well anycar is like that...if you push it your gonna get bad mpg...

When i had my viper i cruised on weekends, no point of pushing it hard. cruise and show its beauty. Abuse it at the track or canyons or freeway.

Doesn't gearing have a lot to do with MPG's as well. I always thought that was kind of a stupid trick with the vipers and some other cars. Just throw a tall ass gear on the end and then bam, they can say great gas mileage for what it is. The old vipers always felt like they were geared for 330 mph lol

Yep - a little Alfa & Maserati. I guess Fiat told the designers to pen some design traits from some of their other lines...

Kudos for remaining NA -it's a big arse "bus engine" though

"Can't front" I like it - Dodge's version of the 8C - sort of
